Dr. Yasser Khater has led a discussion on the importance of mindful eating and the role of food in human health and wellbeing during the Youth Empowerment Program 2026 hosted by the Equator University of Science and Technology (EQUSaT) in partnership with Helping Hands for Relief and Development.
Presenting under the topic “Mindful Eating: The Role of Food in Our Body and Wellbeing,” Dr. Khater explored the relationship between food choices, the body's needs and overall health, encouraging young people to pay greater attention to what they eat and how their dietary choices influence their wellbeing.
The session formed part of the programme's broader theme, “One’s Healthy: Minding the Food We Take and Caring for Our Bodies as a Strategy for a Long, Healthier and Happy Life.”
